The arrested have been identified as:

1) Rahul alias Back Rahul (20), son of Rohan from Thokkottu. He is a plumber by profession.

2)Pavanraj (20), son of Mohandas, also from Thokkottu. He is a painter by profession.

3)Edwin Rahul D'Souza alias Pucche Rahul (18), son of Henry D'Souza, from Kotekar. He is a PU student.

4)Karthik (19), son of Raveendra, resident of Kotekar. He is a diploma student.

With the arrest of these four miscreants the number of persons nabbed in connection with the three stabbing incidents reported from Ullal earlier this week, reached five.

Two days ago, the police had arrested Shivaraj alias Shiva (19), a resident of Kumpala and an electrician by profession. He was arrested in connection with the attack on Ibrahim Hassan, who was targeted early on Monday morning, when he was on his way to fishing port in Mangaluru from Ullal.

Hours after attack on Ibrahim Hassan on Monday a gang of five miscreants had attacked Safwan (24), Saleem (22) and Nizam (22), who work with a catering contractor. Later on Tuesday another youth identified as Safwan (27), a resident of Patla, Kallapu, was allegedly attacked with weapons by about four miscreants when he was coming out of his house.

According to Mangaluru city police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar all five victims were innocents without having any criminal background. Raju Kotian, who was hacked to death by a few miscreants a few days ago, was also innocent, he said.

Justifying his decision to impose prohibitory orders under Section 144 under the limits of commissionerate for two days, the top cop said that such a measure was necessary to maintain law and order in the city.

He said that a few fringe groups were making preparations to stage protest in Mangaluru illegally and police will not allow them to execute their plans.

Bengaluru, Jul 14: The Karnataka government on Tuesday made changes to the Land Reforms Act 1961 through an ordinance to allow non-agriculturists to buy and own farmland for farming.

“The Land Reforms Act has been amended through an ordinance and notified after Governor Vajubhai R Vala gave his assent to it on Monday night,” a Revenue Department official told media persons.

It now permits non-farmers to buy farmland and grow food crops. But they can’t use it for other activities.

“Sections 79 A, B and C of the Act have been repealed, paving way for bona fide citizens to invest in farmland and take to farming as a hobby, passion or additional occupation, which is rewarding,” the official said.

The amended Act will enable the state to attract investment in the farm sector and boost food output. The farm sector’s contribution to the state’s gross domestic product (GDP) has been less than the manufacturing and services sectors over the last two decades.

Criticism by farmers, the Congress and the JD(S) since the cabinet approved changes on June 11 forced the state government to retain section 80 of the Act, with an amendment, to prevent sale of dam water irrigated farmland.

“The ordinance has also added a new section (80A), which says relaxations under the Act will not apply to land given to farmers under the Karnataka SC and ST (Scheduled Caste and Tribe) Act 1978,” the official said.

The changes permit mortgage of farmland only to the state-run institutions, firms and cooperative societies specified in the Act. The ordinance also makes legal cases pending in courts against the sections amended redundant as the new Act addresses the concerns raised in them.

“Besides generating substantial revenue for the state government, the Act will now allow farmers who find the occupation non-remunerative and risky due to droughts/floods and labour shortage to sell their surplus land to urban buyers,” the official said.

Ruling BJP Rajya Sabha member KC Ramamurthy from Bengaluru said the amended Act would allow any citizen to buy farmland.

“Though hundreds of people petitioned successive governments for the past 45 years to abolish the ‘draconian’ sections, they were ignored. I compliment Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Revenue Minister R Ashoka for the decision to allow everyone to buy farmland irrespective of their occupation or profession,” Ramamurthy told media persons.
